Spring Traditions

As the calendar turns to April, the days become longer and the weather becomes a little warmer, I can’t help but get excited about spring! What I especially like about spring is that it always brings with it a sense of refresh, defined, of course, by some great spring traditions. My spring traditions have evolved over the years, but I think I’ve just about landed on my favourites below – these help me jump right into spring feeling my very best!

1 –TheSpring Gardening

Did I mention the snow is finally gone?! With that said, spring is also a great time to get thinking about your garden. Depending on your plants, there are lots of things you can take care of in April to ensure your garden is in tip-top shape for the year, like clearing your drainage areas, weeding any springs weeds, and prepping your lawn.

To ensure you’re not sneezing and rubbing itchy eyes from all your garden work, keep Claritin® handy all year round for fast, non-drowsy allergy symptom relief

2 – The Spring Clean

While like many of you, I feel like I find myself cleaning up around the house all the time. I use the return of the spring season as a time to do a thorough clean-up of the house, hitting the spots we often let slide the rest of the year. Think places like your bookshelves, the top of cabinets, and the fridge (yes inside AND out), as well other often-overlooked areas like your patio furniture and windows.

It’s also important to not ignore your medicine cabinet, as it may need some cleaning out too! If you have expired medication, check out MakeTheDrop.ca to find an Orange Drop location near you to safely dispose of expired medication before restocking for the season ahead.

3 – The Spring Closet Purge

After the long winter, it’s always a great time to go through your closet and purge. A common trick I’ve started using is to reverse all my hangers during my spring clothing purge; then, once I wear the article I turn the hangers back, so come next year, anything that’s still reversed can be purged away – a simple, yet very effective little hack.

Rather than throw out the clothing, why not try and donate to a local charity near you for someone who’s in need. They will even recycle stained or worn out clothing, so put it all in!

4 – The Return of Fitness and the Blue Jays

Spring is also a great time to re-focus on those fitness resolutions you set back in January. With the warm weather slowly coming back along with spring baseball (Go Jays!), you want to make sure you’re able to make the most of the season. ALEVE®gives you up to 12 hours of pain relief so you can focus on your favourite spring past times and fitness goals, or maybe even work on your fastball! For us our boat goes in the water and summer gets closer everyday!

What other spring traditions do you have to help kick-start your spring?
